Article Abstract

A 39-year-old woman diagnosed with persistent congenital tibial pseudoarthrosis until adulthood presented with a right leg angular deformity, associated pain, and significant limb length discrepancy. Over a 17-year period, the case was closely monitored and treated through excision of the pseudarthrosis, vascularised fibular graft with bone marrow-derived and cultured mesenchymal cells, combined with highly purified β-tricalcium phosphates, internal fixation, and the application of a ring Ilizarov fixator. The successful union of bones and correction of deformities was achieved through consideration of both mechanical and biological aspects.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious congenital anomaly often associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Central vascular access such as umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) is routinely used in neonatal intensive care but is associated with the risk of vascular complications, including thromboembolic events. We present a case of preterm dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins born at 34 weeks of gestation with antenatally diagnosed CDH.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly. While surgical and interventional advancements have improved survival, the management of associated complications and comorbidities remains complex and would benefit from a personalised approach that more accurately predicts individualised risks and prognoses. Recently, next-generation sequencing has uncovered diverse genetic factors, including epigenetic modifications, somatic mosaicism and regulatory non-coding variants.

We report a case of concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD) in a neonate without syndromic features, representing one of fewer documented cases worldwide. The patient presented with classic CDH symptoms but developed persistent bowel obstruction post-repair, leading to delayed HD diagnosis 4 weeks later. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges in differentiating postoperative ileus from underlying HD in CDH patients.
